I always build from the FreeBSD-specific makefiles in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc which make sure everything is built correctly and installed as the system compiler. You should be able to go to /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc and type 'make all install'. A simple 'make world' would also work and would have the benefit of rebuilding everything in the system with the new compiler. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
